Here's the
interview with KP shown on the big screen on Tuesday. It will also be on the OS later today.
I noted the comments made on the previous thread - I don't think it seems too long in this medium, although perceptions are probably different when you are in the stadium.
A lot of people have asked about buying the posters - see the OS later today for news on this.

Mind you so have I, lol
That was January 1968.
Yes, I know he has to be positive...... and no way am I having a go at Keith, who I think has a very important role to play at the club, especially with his experience and mild manner but I think the club have to be a bit more radical than this.
Pity the Chairman and officers cannot, and did not take an earlier invitation to speak to the fans.
Not quite sure what you were expecting, Ken ... someone making loud noises and throwing their toys out of the pram ?
But it needs to be put into the context of a sales pitch, for people to renew their season tickets.
I thought Keith more or less made all the right noises, in a calm and constructive way.
And his message was that we are not wallowing in our misfortune or looking for scapegoats - and that planning for next season is already well underway.
And if it seems bleak at the moment, then hey ....... we've been in this spot before; we will bounce back.
We always have.
As I said re Keith nothing about him, or what he said, except the word 'unfortunate'. There seems to have been a number of commentators from Charlton over the past week, Derek Ufton, Rick Everitt on Sky, nothing wrong in what any of what they said, but what they stated was not really addressing the key issues. Parkinson,Money, Players, Investment, and so forth. I appreciate that these people I have mentioned cannot comment on these topics but that is why I along with others think there should be detail into why Parkinson was appointed, and not a more experienced manager! If money was the answer, how much has it cost us now we have been relegated! and will continue to cost us.
If the supporters cannot expect a clear and concise statement from the Chairman and CEO on relegation when can it expect one.
No one is saying this is terminal, but a clear vision needs to be given, not as in the local paper by the manager that they are 'running scarred' and he claims' Nothing has been said about what what the budget is going to be as the board are waiting to see the level of season ticket sales...... The more season tickets which are sold, the better the chance we've got of keeping the squad together' so how can you plan when you do not know what your budget is!......
Difficult I know, but that is why we need a clear statement from the board, or discussion as to what happens if season tickets only reach 10,000 say! or god forbid less
Maybe whatever they say first depends on the outcome of those events.
But Keith is just doing a marketing pitch, appealing to existing loyal supporters to renew their season tickets.
He's not holding an inquest.
I think I am getting a bit frustrated with the board that is all who should be stepping forward with some answers....
On Parky they said it will be end of the season when they decide. Not long now but either way I hope they say he is staying or going ASAP for his sake and so we as a club can move on.
Nelse, it's not even a vaguely disguised ST Marketing campaign - there's nothing vaguely disguised about it ....!
As I reckoned in my earlier post, below.
;o)
So what if it is?
Its well presented and sums up what is needed , sold ST's
how many of our current crop of players were 'grief striken' last week as KP was I that piece. Part of the problem IMO.
